New,York,,Ny,,Usa,-,July,5,,2022:,Front,View

A federal judge in Tampa rejected President Donald Trump‘s $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times (NYSE:NYT) on Friday, labeling the filing as “decidedly improper.” Judge Steven Merryday gave Trump 28 days to resubmit the lawsuit, with a 40-page limit.

The lawsuit targets the NYT, four of its reporters, and Penguin Random House over the book ‘Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success‘, written by Times reporters Susanne Craig and Russ Buettner.
